Football King Bale

Chapter 304: The powerful old guy

As the referee blows his whistle, the game officially begins.

Taking advantage of the kick-off, Tottenham took the lead in attacking. Modric controlled the ball at his feet. Cleverley rushed to block it, but Modric handed the ball to Livermore gracefully, and Livermore gently With a push, the ball was handed to Van der Vaart's feet.

Van der Vaart took advantage of the situation and tried to pass Evra on the right side of the penalty area, but Evra did not lose his position. Although Van der Vaart dunked the ball twice in a row, he failed to get rid of the experienced Evra. Defoe waved from the side, but he didn't see him at all.

As soon as the opportunity was delayed, Manchester United's defense retracted again. Bell came to help. After a double attack with Evra, Bell intercepted the ball. Without any other ideas, he immediately handed it to Nani in front.

Livermore quickly retreated and despite knowing that Bale might pass the ball to Nani, they were unable to stop the ball.

Nani took a half-high ball with his left foot and hit Tottenham directly behind him!

Manchester United's counterattack was fast and their tactical intentions were very obvious!

Rooney sprints against offside!

With just two kicks, Manchester United sent the ball to the most dangerous area.

………………

Zhan Jun from Xinlang Sports shouted: "What a goal! What a goal! Little Pea! Is the entire Tottenham defense stunned?"

In an instant, he went to the meeting alone. Rooney himself did not expect that the opportunity would appear so easily, but he was not distracted. After removing the ball, he immediately took it into Tottenham's penalty area.

There is only one person in front of him, the American substitute goalkeeper Friedel, who just joined Tottenham this summer. As long as he can beat this 40-year-old guy alone, he will score.

Friedel on the goal line had already attacked. All the defenders could be stunned, but he could not.

I can!

The tall and powerful American veteran goalkeeper unswervingly rushed out of the small penalty area at the fastest speed and rushed to Rooney's feet. Rooney had just raised his right foot and he had already pounced at his feet.

At this time, is there any direction that can be judged correctly? No, it was just intuition, and it was all about competing for time with Rooney.

Friedel's left hand was seen digging towards Rooney's right foot, and his right hand was shot from the air. His feet were stretched straight and swept in the other direction, blocking almost all angles of Rooney's shot.

And the speed of his save was so fast that Rooney had no choice but to take a shot. He made a quick move with his right foot, but it was still a little too late. The ball hit Friedel's chest directly, bounced out of the penalty area, and was kicked directly out of the sideline by the hurried Hector!

Zhan Jun sighed: "Oh! What a world-class save! Friedel's save was so amazing that I couldn't tell that this was the reaction speed of a forty-year-old guy. I thought I would definitely die for this one-handed goal, but I didn't expect it." He came out so promptly.”

Zhang Lu, who was partnering with Zhan Jun, also smiled and said: "Hehe... Rooney is a world-class striker. Even he felt a little unprepared, hehehe..."

………………

Ashley Young got the ball back on the sideline, ran five or six meters and then directly threw a depth bomb. The ball was pointed directly into the Tottenham penalty area, targeting Bell and Welbeck.

Heibei still got the spot under Dawson's close surveillance.

With a slight nudge of his head, the ball flew towards the far goal. It's not fast, but it has a very tricky angle.

The ball drew a beautiful arc and was about to fall into the goal. At the critical moment, it was Friedel again, the forty-year-old figure passing by and hitting the ball out of the baseline with one palm.

Zhan Jun exclaimed again: "This is simply the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. Friedel's condition improved so quickly today, it's amazing!"

Zhang Lu also said: "Hehehe, yes, the theoretical probability of this ball going in is too high, but he hit it out. It's amazing, it's amazing. Lao Lei should be grateful that Friedel is in such good condition. Otherwise, they would have conceded the ball at the beginning. Both chances were sure to score, but they were resolved both times.”

Zhan Jun said: "Manchester United's corner kick, let's see how Bell handles this ball."

………………

Bell drove the ball directly into Tottenham's penalty area, looking for Rooney, who also had Welbeck as a cover. However, Welbeck lacked experience and Bell's defenders squeezed out of the dangerous area, preventing Rooney from getting a chance to directly attack the goal.

Rooney chose to return with a header, looking for Ashley Young who was ambushing outside the penalty area. Ashley Young decisively shot a low shot into the near corner. The ball hit the turf and then quickly bounced towards the goal. However, Friedel still reacted quickly, dived sideways, and firmly suppressed the ball with both hands.

Immediately, Friedel stood up quickly and accurately threw the ball to Modric's feet. This was Tottenham's best choice for counterattack. Although Evra is by Modric's side, Friedel still has full trust in Modric.

The ball fell quickly, and Modric took a step back. Facing the falling ball, he did not choose to stop, but directly picked it to the open space on the left with his right foot. Hector rushed up quickly, usually By playing like this, he knew that Héctor would run up to respond.

However, he miscalculated this time. Because it wasn’t just Hector who ran up, there was also Bell who ran back from the corner flag!

As a former Tottenham player who still played on the left with Hector, Bell was very familiar with many of Tottenham's coordinations. When he saw Modric receiving the ball, he had a premonition of his next move.

Bell was faster than Hector, but Hector was closer to the ball, so the two put their feet on the ball almost at the same time, and their bodies collided violently.

There was a muffled sound of "Bang -", but Bell still stood firmly, but Héctor had already tilted his body and lost his balance.

………………

After winning the ball, Bell immediately raised his head and glanced at the frontcourt. As far as he could see, Manchester United's teammates were running forward!

He started without hesitation!

"What!" John Mortensen couldn't believe his eyes. Because Bell didn't pass the ball, he saw Friedel just walking back from the edge of the penalty area, so he chose to lob.

The ball roared across the sky and fell rapidly towards Tottenham's goal.

This is a super long-distance lob of more than 40 meters!

Although Friedel had returned to the penalty spot, he still broke into a cold sweat. Facing the ball that was getting closer and closer, he retreated quickly and jumped up. He reluctantly raised his right hand and felt that he had directly touched the ball. With just a little bit of force, the ball still passed the lintel...

The fans rubbed their eyes and really couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

In the first fifteen minutes, Tottenham's 40-year-old guy had already made four world-class saves. The fans at Old Trafford even thought it was Edwin van der Sar who was standing in front of Tottenham's goal.

At this time, the director also turned the camera to Van der Sar in the stands. The Dutch goalkeeper also looked surprised at this moment. Obviously, his behavior towards this American who was only half a year younger than him was somewhat unexpected.

Friedel climbed up from the turf and waved his right arm vigorously, roaring.

Tottenham captain Dawson ran over and touched his head. He didn't know what to say. Without the old guy who just came to the team this summer, Tottenham would have been cold by now.

Friedel pushed him away, pointed at Rooney and said: "Keep an eye on him! Keep an eye on him!"

He was in such excitement that he didn't notice that the person in front of him was Dawson, the team captain. From the beginning to now, he is the Tottenham player in the best condition, and other teammates are still sleepwalking.

………………

After surviving Manchester United's strong attack in the opening fifteen minutes, Tottenham stabilized their position and the players' performance became much more normal. The two sides fell into a stalemate on the court.

But this kind of stalemate is different from ordinary stalemates. The scene is not dull at all. The two teams go back and forth and fight against each other.

It's just that both teams were a bit unlucky. Until the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0.

However, Tottenham were lucky enough to maintain a draw, thanks to their veteran American goalkeeper Friedel. If it weren't for that old guy, Tottenham would have been beaten by Manchester United in the first fifteen minutes.

At the beginning of the second half, Tottenham made a substitution adjustment. Walker suffered some injuries in the first half and was replaced by Joel Luka.

Manchester United continues to dominate the offense. They do not want to get a draw in their first home game of the new season, especially when their opponent is Tottenham, who can be called Manchester United's point-giving boy.

In the 60th minute of the first half, Manchester United launched an attack. Nani drove the ball up from the right at lightning speed. Hector made a flying tackle and shoveled the ball directly out of the sideline, preventing this counterattack. However, Nani immediately climbed up from the turf, grabbed the ball and gave it to Rooney in front of him, without waiting for his teammates to come up to respond!

Rooney was very focused and used his speed to get rid of Kabul behind him. He quickly ran back to catch the ball and knocked the ball back to Nani. Nani adjusted the ball to his left foot and sent a long overhead pass. !

He saw Ashley Young coming in from the left!

At this time, Ashley Young was at his peak, not the Young who was widely known in later generations. He increased his horsepower to the maximum and forcibly pulled Joel Luca behind him.

Cioluca didn't make any random moves or kicks. He glanced at the middle while running and found that Livermore in the middle had pulled back, and then he shoveled from the side. As a result, Ashley Young rolled to the ground with the ball, and the whistle sounded.

It was a foul, and it also came with a yellow card.

Just now, the reason why Cioluka didn't take the first step was because he was worried that his teammates in the middle had not returned. His tackle might result in a red card. But after Dawson returned, the foul would not be so serious, so he resolutely took it down. Ashley Young.

Yellow cards are acceptable, but red cards are not.
